Floor Preparation
When installing under floor heating for a tiles floor there is very little floor preparation needed, it is important that the subfloor is flat and smooth (Latex level compound may be needed). When the floor is flat ensure that it is free from dust and debris.
Installation Steps
- Dry lay your Easy-Heat insulation (cut to shape with a stanley knife)
- Once you are happy that all the boards will fit, remove the boards remembering where they will go
- mix your and spread rapid set flexible tile adhesive over your subfloor (3mm notch trowel) and replace the Easy heat insulation applying a bit of pressure to ensure it bonds
- Allow the flexible adhesive to set, if using rapid set flexible adhesive you should be able to walk on the insulation within 2 hours
- Lay down your ribbon heating mats using the double sided tape on each end of the heating mats
- Where required use Allbrite's high adhesive tape to secure the edges
- Route the cold leads (live & neutral) to a junction box just above skirting board level
- Check the resistance of the heating elements matches with the resistance chart in installation manual
- Connect the cold leads using the revolutionary 5 lever quick connectors
- Mix and apply your flexible tile adhesive to a small workable area only to a depth of 8mm to 10mm using a notch trowel
- Lay your tiles as instructed by the manufacturer
- Repeat the previous 2 steps until the area is fully tiled, then apply the grout.
